FAQs

Financial Consultants Insurance FAQs

Financial consultants need insurance because investments and markets can be extremely unpredictable. One flawed bit of guidance could lead to a client suffering substantial financial loss, followed by legal action.

Our policies cover potential claims, including unsuitable product advice, inaccurate market predictions, unrealistic performance projections and insufficient risk warnings. They provide a safety net if your incorrect guidance contributes to client losses.

We cover all core advisory areas, including:

  • Pensions – consolidation, switching, retirement options
  • Savings – ISAs, bonds, funds, shares, ETFs
  • Mortgages – affordability calculations, product recommendations
  • Equity release
  • Inheritance tax and estate planning
  • General insurance – life, health, property, travel

Essentially, we cover any claims due to investment, mortgage or wider financial guidance that contribute to clients experiencing financial loss.

Yes, you need specialist pension consultant insurance if you provide recommendations on retirement planning. Even simple consolidation guidance which leads to loss of benefits could trigger claims. Our policies are specifically designed to cover liability when:

  • Advising pension switches, consolidations or transfers
  • Guiding on income drawdown, annuity purchases or fund withdrawals
  • Making projections on values, returns or annuity rates

Our optional professional indemnity cover protects you if your forecasted returns, growth rates or other predictions are higher than reality. For example, if you project 8% annual returns but the client only achieves 2%, they could argue the investments were mis sold. 

Our insurance would cover against claims for the financial loss suffered, providing you demonstrate due diligence was taken with the guidance provided.
